Summary of New Features in Mathematica 8 (Mathematica Guide)

ZTransform (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

ZTransform[expr, n, z] gives the Z transform of expr. ZTransform[expr, {n_1, n_2, ...}, {z_1, z_2, ...}] gives the multidimensional Z transform of expr.

InternallyBalancedDecomposition (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

InternallyBalancedDecomposition[ss] yields the internally balanced decomposition of the StateSpaceModel object ss. The result is a list {s, ib} where s is the similarity ...

StateSpaceTransform (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

StateSpaceTransform[ss, s_1] transforms the StateSpaceModel object ss using the similarity matrix s_1.StateSpaceTransform[ss, {s_1, s_2}] computes the transformation using ...

DiscreteRiccatiSolve (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

DiscreteRiccatiSolve[{a, b}, {q, r}] gives the matrix x that is the stabilizing solution of the discrete algebraic Riccati equation ConjugateTranspose[a].x.a - x - ...

StateFeedbackGains (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

StateFeedbackGains[ss, {p_1, p_2, ..., p_n}] gives the state feedback gain matrix for the StateSpaceModel object ss such that the poles of the closed-loop system are p_i.

Alphabetical Listing (Mathematica Guide)

Mathematica has over 3000 built-in functions and other objects, all based on a single unified framework, and all carefully designed to work together, both in simple ...

Code Generation (C Code Generator Tutorial)

Code generation from Mathematica involves converting programs written in the Mathematica language into other languages and then supporting them so that they can be executed. ...
